There are proven ways of producing energy (and hydrogen) from solar power, which doesn't stop when the sun sets and which the US Department of Energy has spent a lot of money proving that it works.
The technology is called Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). There used to be a pilot plant in Hawaii, which is an excellent location to turn into a hydrogen economy run on solar power. A lot more information can be found at OTECnews.
"how much money the software makes is how to measure the programmer's acheivment"
How much money software makes has very little to do with a programmers achivements. The sale and marketing budget completely swamps any programmers efforts on most commercial software projects. I have had very productive programmers work for me and not sold anything as the company ran out of money. It didn't sell anything and therefor the programmers were no productive? I don't think so.
I know someone who used to work for a film review magazine in London who said that the last year she worked there they hardly went to see any films at all. They were so understaffed that they didn't have time to see the films and wrote reviews of them without seeing them.
She got fed up and left. I think you will find this practise is not as unusual as one would hope.
Some movies - Black Hawk Down - are greatly enhanced by 9/11. Because it was true and well done
There are many "truths" out there, you only have to go across the Atlantic to the UK to find a radically different "truth":
The Guardian (a UK broadsheet newspaper) says:
Black Hawk Down looks set to become one of the bestselling movies of all time. Like all the films the British-born director Ridley Scott has made, it is gripping, intense and beautifully shot. It is also a stunning misrepresentation of what happened in Somalia.
"Downloaded the disk image, started it up and no banana."
I had the same problems with 0.9.5 and 0.9.6, the disk image would be corrupted and would not mount on the OS X desktop, regardless of which method I used to download it with. Eventually 0.9.7 came out and that would unpack correctly and install. I never figured out what was wrong.
Problem is that nobody, except for M$, seems interested in developing an Office environment, even for OS X, which seems silly. And M$ will probably drop Office support as soon as they can, the contract which makes them do this runs out soon. Oh well.
How was this different from Third Voice? A few things easily come to mind.
Third Voice you had to use by choice. IE6 will be in the hands of millions of people who have no idea that what they are reading is edited by a corporate entity.
Third Voice allowed anyone to add a comment on anything. MS will only allow itself to edit anything. (Even if they did allow others, 99% of browsers will not be affected.)
Now I actually think that the ability to edit web pages is very good, but then I am partial. Check out Open Zezame.
You want to be able to integrate with it through standard interfaces
Commercial systems to investigate:
Reasonably inexpensive and easy to learn, eRoom.
More complex, expensive and more capable, Expedio and Intra.doc! from Intranet Solutions
Evil Empire verion, Tahoe
High end, Documentum
I have designed and build several of these type of systems. You generally don't hack together a document management system in a weekened. If you think so, then research your users requirements a bit further.:)
I don't seem to be able to find much actual release notes worth anything on Netscapes site. Is it based on M17, M18 or what? Trying to see if the CSS, Javascript, DOM support is up to start using for the apps we are building.

I belive that M$ had license to that effect on Hotmail for a while.

The trick is to call any version of events which doesn't agree with yours: "lying f***ing commies". ;)

Now I actually think that the ability to edit web pages is very good, but then I am partial. Check out Open Zezame.- Publish documentation in a common format (think HTML or PDF) even though it is authored in multiple formats (Word, Powerpoint)
- Text search, you all use Google, Altavista etc. You need to have the same tools for your document management
- Messaging integration, you may want to be notified when you have to do something, such as review a document
- Security control
- Web access to the inteface is nearly mandatory, why would you want anything else
:)
- You want to be able to annotate the content of the published documents
- You want to be able to integrate with it through standard interfaces
